The Intestinal Lymphatic System: Functions and Metabolic ImplicationsSummary [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019 The lymphatic system of the gut plays important roles in the transport of dietary lipids, as well as in immunosurveillance and removal of interstitial fluid.

T Cell Migration from Inflamed Skin to Draining Lymph Nodes Requires Intralymphatic Crawling Supported by ICAM-1/LFA-1 Interactions [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 T cells are the most abundant cell type found in afferent lymph, but their migration through lymphatic vessels (LVs) remains poorly understood. Performing intravital microscopy in the murine skin, we imaged T cell migration through afferent LVs in vivo ...

Lymphatic Clearance of Immune Cells in Cardiovascular Disease
Cells, 2021 Recent advances in our understanding of the lymphatic system, its function, development, and role in pathophysiology have changed our views on its importance. Historically thought to be solely involved in the transport of tissue fluid, lipids, and immune

Visualization of Endothelial Actin Cytoskeleton in the Mouse Retina [PDF]
, 2012 Angiogenesis requires coordinated changes in cell shape of endothelial cells (ECs), orchestrated by the actin cytoskeleton. The mechanisms that regulate this rearrangement in vivo are poorly understood - largely because of the difficulty to visualize ...

Coagulation in Lymphatic System
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 The lymphatic system maintains homeostasis of the internal environment between the cells in tissues and the blood circulation. The coagulation state of lymph is determined by conditions of coagulation factors and lymphatic vessels. Internal obliteration,

Endothelial Dysfunction: From a Pathophysiological Mechanism to a Potential Therapeutic Target
Biomedicines, 2021 The endothelium is considered the largest organ of the body, composed of a monolayer of endothelial cells (ECs) lining the interior surface of blood and lymphatic vessels [...]

Plasticity of blood- and lymphatic endothelial cells and marker identification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The distinction between lymphatic and blood vessels is biologically fundamental. Here we wanted to rigorously analyze the universal applicability of vascular markers and characteristics of the two widely used vascular model systems human microvascular ...
